Wait, where is rowid stored now? AFAIU it is still placed in the last field.

Now I am thinking about introducing secondary index for table with rowid on the last field.
Could you take a look at code and say whether this idea feasible or not?
In this case, it would be easy to fetch max value from ‘last’ field and increment it.
Anyway even if this idea fails as well, lets come up with better solution.

PS add patches mailing list to receivers so that our conversation is available for everyone.
